There is no problem with fading, though you should ALWAYS wash shirts on cold and hang dry. DO NOT put shirts in the dryer. EVER. The Smitty shirts will dry in less than 30 minutes.
Why?

Dryer sheets? Absolutely not (they clog the channels of wicking fabrics). High heat, no to that too.

But, low heat, nothing wrong with that. There is no reason to not dry them as long as the heat isn't too high and you don't over dry them.

Or just use less detergent and save the water.

Or use one of the following that is designed for high tech fabrics...
Amazon.com: Atsko Sport Wash 1L Bottle (34 wash): Sports & Outdoors

or
http://www.amazon.com/Nathan-Sport-W...4298854&sr=8-2


I use the first one with all my stuff...compression undergarments, ref shirts, ski clothes, basically any thing that has special waterproof or water wicking characteristics.

Flag patches here are only worn by armed forces veterans.

i like

I bought one of the new shirts with the printed patch and flag and I really like it. I haven't seen any fading yet but it only has been worn and washed a few times.

There's no reason TO put them in the dryer. They dry hanging almost as fast as they do in the dryer. A heated dryer lessens the usable life of virtually all clothing, ESPECIALLY synthetic fabrics.
